Ah, Paris! The city of light, of lovers and… of picnics! What could be better than lounging in a park under a blue sky, a sandwich in one hand and a glass of rosé within reach? Organising a picnic in Paris can sometimes be complicated, especially if you don't know where to start. Don't panic! This complete guide gives you all the tips for a perfect picnic, whether you're a local or a tourist. With Even Gestion, enjoy your day to the full without worrying about logistics.

Choosing the best spot for your picnic in Paris


The must-visit parks for a picnic in Paris


The first step for a successful picnic in Paris is choosing the right place. Among the most popular parks:

  • The Jardin du Luxembourg : tree-lined paths, fountains and a relaxing atmosphere.

  • The Parc des Buttes-Chaumont : breathtaking views over the city and picturesque scenery.

  • The Parc de la Villette : a vast, green space, perfect for families or groups.

Don't hesitate to explore lesser-known spots for a quiet picnic away from the crowds.



Check the weather for a perfect picnic

Before you set off, check the weather. A sunny sky is ideal, but always have a plan B in case of rain: a shelter, a nearby café or even a covered space. With Even Gestion, you can choose the best time to make the most of Paris while staying flexible.


Choosing food and drinks for a successful picnic


Simple, tasty dish ideas


For a stress-free picnic in Paris, go for simple, delicious dishes:

  • Gourmet sandwiches, fresh salads and seasonal fruit.

  • Local produce: crusty baguette, artisan cheeses, quality charcuterie.

  • Sweet treats: macarons, éclairs or little cakes.


Refreshing drinks


Don't overlook drinks: chilled rosé, homemade lemonade or water to stay hydrated. For children, bring fruit juice or soft drinks. Remember a cool bag to keep everything fresh.


Essential accessories for a picnic in Paris


Basic equipment


Equip yourself properly for a stress-free picnic :

  • Picnic blanket, reusable or disposable plates and cutlery, cups and napkins.

  • Cool bag for chilled drinks and a small bin bag for your rubbish.

Make your day memorable with games and activities: cards, frisbee, pétanque or badminton. Even Gestion can advise you on activities suitable for all ages.
